Introduction Text Hello! I am a 39 year old mom of three teenage kiddos and I am wanting a change so I can live a long and healthy life. I have always tried to do this alone, so I looked through different blogs, communities, etc. that lead me to Spark People. Since I have joined SparkPeople in January 2019 I have lost a total or 85 lbs. I am more than halfway to my ultimate goal weight. I have accomplished this by being consistent with my workouts, counting my calories, and participating in team challenges. I have met the most wonderful people and am hoping to keep meeting more.

My goal is to make a lifestyle change. I am lucky enough that most of the "bad for you cravings" I do not possess. Not a fan of pasta, soda, or potatoes... but I love bread and anything that is salty and crunchy.. That will be the hardest to balance in my new lifestyle change.

As a member of the 5% challenge I continue to stick to my journey for a healthier lifestyle change. I eat the highest nutritional foods with the lowest calorie buck. I don't like structured diets due to wanting to still enjoy food that would normally be restricted but in a healthy way that won't allow myself to dive back into an unhealthy pattern. If I don't learn how to incorporate some "bad" then how can I fully achieve the life I am hoping for after the weight loss! I exercise 7 days a week. My plan goes like this: Mon- 45 minutes ST Tue- 30 + minutes cardio Wed- 45 minutes ST Thur - 30 + minutes cardio Fri- 45 minutes ST Sat - 30 + minutes cardio Sun - clean, food prep, and new exercise (swimming, biking, jogging, etc)

I work for a non-profit that provides service for developmentally disabled members of my community. Born and raised in Alaska, I enjoy the outdoor activities my beautiful state offers, mostly summer and fall, but winter is not too bad ;-)
